Instruction manual Double Insulated Laminate Trimmers

MOTORMany Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown onthe specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed forA.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltageand current rating.Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is notwithin correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C.current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.EXTENSION CORD SELECTIONIf an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough toprevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possiblemotor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found inthis section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 voltsfor 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix W-Aor W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it isacceptable for outdoor use.RECOMMENDED EXTENSION CORD SIZES FOR USE WITH PORTABLE ELECTRIC TOOLSLength of Cord in Feet115V 25 Ft. 50 Ft. 100 Ft. 150 Ft. 200 Ft. 250 Ft. 300 Ft. 400 Ft. 500 Ft.230V 50 Ft. 100 Ft. 200 Ft. 300 Ft. 400 Ft. 500 Ft. 600 Ft. 800 Ft. 1000 Ft.0-2 18 18 18 16 16 14 14 12 122-3 18 18 16 14 14 12 12 10 103-4 18 18 16 14 12 12 10 10 84-5 18 18 14 12 12 10 10 8 85-6 18 16 14 12 10 10 8 8 66-8 18 16 12 10 10 8 6 6 68-10 18 14 12 10 8 8 6 6 410-12 16 14 10 8 8 6 6 4 412-14 16 12 10 8 6 6 6 4 214-16 16 12 10 8 6 6 4 4 216-18 14 12 8 8 6 4 4 2 218-20 14 12 8 6 6 4 4 2 2Nameplate Ampere Rating9
